- No forfeit, no disrespect, no bare assertions & no shotgun argumentation.

- BOP: Pro has the burden of proof, for he is making the positive claim.

- Sources: authentic & authoritative, whether within the same round or at the end of the debate. In case they are in a foreign language, a translation should be provided in a google document, at least for the relevant parts.

I apologize for the forfiet, I have recently had a family issue and I am unable to continue this debate. I apologize to con and all the people watching this debate. Hopefully, I will be able to make another one in a few weeks
